1877

Twenty-Six Years Reminiscences of Scotch Grouse Moors by William Alexander Adams (1889)

Season 1877

At last a gleam of sunshine. Seasons 1873, '74, '75, and '76, four long years practically blank, and heavy expenses running the while; it was a heartbreaking business, worse than my experience in Banffshire. But at last I was to expect some moderate shooting for two guns, and my expectations were realised.
